I've been watching the recent comments flying back and forth between President Trump and Admiral McRaven -- as well as heckling from the media cheap seats -- over remarks that McRaven made about Trump being the biggest threat to democracy in his lifetime. The President then fired back about McRaven not finding Bin Laden sooner, and I figured this would be the right time to … [Read more...] about Op-Ed: Breaking down the Trump-McRaven catfight

With the end of the midterm elections, the 116th Congress will have 92 veterans serving in the House and Senate. About half of these served in the military after the 9/11 attacks. While the total percentage of vets in office is nowhere as high as it was in the 1970s -- when it was 75% -- it's still significant. On this Veterans Day, my hope is that veteran lawmakers of both … [Read more...] about Op-Ed: Vets elected to office have historic opportunities

On a recent skit on Saturday Night Live, comedian Pete Davidson mocked the physical appearance of former Navy SEAL, Lieutenant Commander Dan Crenshaw, saying he looked like a hit man in a porno movie.

What causes former teammates, men who’ve gone through the rigors of Special Operations training and fieldwork, to create drama on social media and other public outlets as if they were still in junior high school? I don’t know; it baffles me. I’ve discussed it at length with some of the most successful (and insightful) people I know. The common themes seem to be that this … [Read more...] about The Navy SEAL veteran Infighting Phenomenon

Disclaimer: Huge Oakley fan so I’m biased towards these awesome lenses.
I first discovered Oakley Stand Issue’s (SI) Prizm technology back at the 2015 SHOT show in Vegas. I’ve had a chance to use Oakley’s glasses on the range and was instantly impressed with how much of an advantage they create in clarity over other shades.

The CZ (Ceska zbrojovka “Czech Armory”) 550 is a solid rifle I’ll give it that for sure. It is what I’d describe as a middle of the road “utility” gun. In the SEAL Teams a “utility” weapon was one that you could use for multiple purposes (close quarter battle or sniper ops).
